Lead Me to Calvary
1 King of my life I crown Thee now, Thine shall the glory be: Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow, Lead me to Calvary. Refrain: Lest I forget Gethsemane; Lest I forget Thine agony; Lest I forget Thy love for me, Lead me to Calvary. 2 Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid, Tenderly mourned and wept; Angels in robes of light arrayed Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept. [Refrain] 3 Let me, like Mary, through the gloom, Come with a gift to Thee; Show to me now the empty tomb, Lead me to Calvary. [Refrain] 4 May I be willing, Lord, to bear Daily my cross for Thee; Even Thy cup of grief to share, Thou hast borne all for me. [Refrain] (optional ending) King of my life I crown Thee now; thine shall the glory be.
